Army Laughs #1
Army Laughs #1 is an anthology of military-themed comedy gags and one-panel jokes. The issue features several humorous vignettes including a cover story where a commanding officer urgently requests his overshoes, an inspirational message about soldiers reported missing, a joke about a soldier insisting on military induction despite being a two-headed creature, a cavalry sergeant asking Private Jones about cleaning the barn for mess, and a scene where a soldier is interrupted from flirting with two women by the draft board. The humor throughout centers on the comedic situations and misunderstandings that arise from military life.
